Perhaps - I just think at this stage most of us have our eyes wide open about the shortcomings of our squad.
Our midfield is poor, we beat up on easy sides and there is an element of not running both ways.
Hardie has an axe to grind, no iffs no buts. His exclusion from WC and his subsequent hatred of Mick (and then John) - he is hardly the voice of reason for our club.
I actually don't know if Hardie is right or wrong. Having watched a number of games live I can honestly say only Rosa seems to run hard both ways this year - so there is an element of cheating on the field.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, mine is - i'll ignore a bloke who's judgement has lead him to gambling away his brownlow medal.
I know about his beef with Woosha but what was his beef with Mick?
